Custom skins. how can we use custom skins? The game is released.

[Jaws2002]

When I asked how will the custom skins be implemented in game few weeks ago Zak gave me this answer:

"You'll be able to use your skins in QMB, custom missions an on non-ranked servers. Skin viewer will become available some time after the release."

 

Thank you Zak for the answer.

 

 

Now the game is released. What is the mechanism to introduce non official custom skins in the game?

What folder do we have to upload the skins to be visible in the game? When first released the early access, there was a skins folder where you could see the skins. Then it disappeared.

Another question.

 

What do you mean by non-ranked servers? Does it mean "mods ON" servers, where people can also bring in moded planes, guns and such things?

 

 

Thank you.

Anything?

[Dakpilot]

Ranked servers I believe mean the official servers(with stats) run by 777/1C nothing to do with mods on/off that is a choice for public servers

 

In various threads the Devs have said they are now (as of yesterday) working on . for soonest release

 

1. Public Dservers

 

2. skins/templates etc.

 

3. ME

 

and bug fixing

Cool. thank you.

I was afraid we'll have to play in the same servers with moded planes if we wanted custom skins. To me skins are big in any flight sim.

It's sad though, the offliners won't be able to use them in the career.

This is what.. day 2?

 

Patience....

 

Too bad we can't do pilot skins.. that was another cool thing about IL2 that no one else has done so far.. DCS had it for a hot minute then they locked the pilot skins..

I asked two specific questions and I got my answer. I hope it's the official one.

Thank you Dakpilot.

If you have nothing to add please spare me of this patronizing attitude.

I guess Jaws doesn't really read the threads, he just make extra work starting his own..

I read a lot of them, but who can keep up with everything that's going on?

not on release

I wasn't talking about skin viewer. It didn't come at release in ROF either.

You don't need it to make skins and get them in the game. Didn't need it in ROF either. Awesome tool to have, but that is not what I asked about. I got that answer from Zak. It was perfectly clear.

I was asking about the actual done skins, in the right format. When can we put them in the game and where.
